Upon leaving Morcheeba, Edwards was replaced by Daisy Martey (formerly of Noonday Underground) as the band's vocalist. (Martey was subsequently criticised by fans for sounding too much like Skye. She did not tour with the band following the release of their first album with her, The Antidote, her place being taken by Jody Sternberg.)
Edwards is signed to Atlantic Records UK. Her debut solo album, Mind How You Go was released on February 27th, 2006.
New solo album 2009: Skye - Keeping Secrets, Skywards Recordings, www.myspace.com/myskyesite
2010: With "Blood Like Lemonade" Skye is firmly back in place. According to Skye "it all happened quite by chance". After seven years, she bumped into Ross Godfrey at her manager's office. They gave each other a big hug, had a chat, and this led to the brother's asking Skye (through their manager) if she would be interested in singing a few songs on their new record. Skye's immediate thought was "Nope", but she thought about it a bit, they had a meal together, "got pretty drunk" and agreed "lets make another Morcheeba record".
Powerful
Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On separate trains
When the heart had gone
Out of it
But I'm not gonna cry
I wanna laugh again
I'm not gonna try
I'll just let it go
Can you feel me now?
Powerful
Do you hear me now?
Every thing's possible
Wonderful, feel like I'm beautiful
When we both look back
We don't see the same
I don't need to deal with
That hurt again
'Cause I'm ready to fly
I've gotta spread my wings
I don't wanna die without living
Just let me go
Can you feel me now?
Powerful
Do you hear me now?
Every thing's possible
Wonderful, I feel like I'm beautiful
You told me that I could never love
Without you
I didn't argue with the fact
I guess I was happy with that
At the time
Can you feel me now?
Powerful
Do you hear me now?
Any thing's possible
Can you feel me now?
Powerful
Do you hear me now?
Any thing's possible
Wonderful, feel like I'm beautiful
Natural, lyrical, no longer cynical
Then we both went home
The lyrics to Skye's song Powerful may seem simple at first glance, but they speak to the powerful feeling of moving on from a difficult relationship. The first verse describes a moment of parting ways with an ex-lover. They both go home on separate trains, acknowledging that the heart has gone out of their relationship. In the following lines, Skye resolutely declares that she won't cry and she won't try to hold onto a connection that has already faded. Instead, she chooses to let go of the hurt and move on.
The chorus of the song delivers a powerful message of self-empowerment. Skye asks, "Can you feel me now? Powerful. Do you hear me now? Everything's possible." She embraces her newfound strength and positive outlook on the future. The lyrics continue with Skye claiming that she feels beautiful, a striking contrast to the earlier moment of heartache. She has shed her previous cynicism and negativity, and now stands in a place of hope and possibility.
The second verse of the song speaks to looking back on a relationship and seeing it from a different perspective. Skye notes that she and her former partner don't see things the same way now. She acknowledges that she doesn't want to deal with the pain of the past relationship again, and chooses instead to focus on her own growth and freedom. The song closes with a final repetition of the chorus, driving home the message of strength and self-belief.

'Cause I'm ready to fly
I've gotta spread my wings
I don't wanna die without living
Just let me go
I am ready to embrace new opportunities and experiences, and not let my past hold me back

Without you
I didn't argue with the fact
I guess I was happy with that
At the time
I used to believe that love was impossible without my ex, but I have learned to love myself and stand on my own two feet
